Finding out noises from your auto often is never reassuring, so discovering noises on your Peugeot 2008 suspensions when you pass a speed bump can be stressful. This warning sign may be a sign of a minor issue as well as a warning of a much larger repair to come. Whatever the case, it is important to check the cause and take the necessary actions to resolve the issue, it is with this intention in mind that we wanted to write this content to support you see more clearly. We will first see the possible causes for a crack when the speed bump passes, after that, what can be the cause of a squeaking noise when a speed bump is being passed and finally what to do if you have another noise when a speed bump is passed.
Suspension cracking noise Peugeot 2008
Check Peugeot 2008 suspension
If you notice a suspension noise when you pass a speed bump on your Peugeot 2008, and it is characterized by a “clack” or cracking, it is highly plausible that your suspension block is the origin of it. Indeed, it may be the suspension cups, which, when they are outdated, have the rubber (silentblock) that acts as a buffer and shock absorber for the upper part of the suspension that no longer fulfils its role during small bumps that compress the suspensions. To check if this is the issue that concerns you, take a dented road and listen to the noise coming from your front axle as you go over holes. If it is indeed the cups, think of swapping them fairly quickly or you may ruin other parts and have to make more important auto repairs.
Check the cardan shaft
If you are here because you have researched for “Peugeot 2008 suspension noise” and the suspension is not the cause of your problem, it may be that the cardan shaft is responsible. Indeed, when the cardan bellows get outdated and the dirt/dust builds up inside them their functions is deteriorated and it is possible to experience a sound when they are in torsion. To check this, you can try both types of torsion, first vertical with suspension compressions on the speed bump passages, and horizontal when you are going to turn at low speed. If it cracks in these two situations you should consider changing it or them. If you have the feeling that this noise is more like a a loud noise on Peugeot 2008, don’t hesitate to check out this document.
Check steering hinges/stabilizer bar
Finally, when you find out a suspension noise when your Peugeot 2008 passes over a speed bumps, it is possible that the hinges or the stabilizer bar are responsible. Simply like the gimbals, the steering part is mobilized when you modify direction. If this is your situation, the parts that may have been destroyed by usual wear and tear or impacts (e. g. sidewalks). The steering hinges, the stabilizer bar hinges. can be the causes of your noises, to check it, place it under the automobile and apply twists on each of its components to check that there is no particular play on one of them, they are expected to resist you quite strongly over their entire travel. Remember to take your Peugeot 2008 to your mechanic or swap them if they are involved.

Check the stabilizer bar
If, however, you have a noise that is more like a squeak when you pass a speed bump with your Peugeot 2008, it is plausible that it is the stabilizer bar itself that is concerned. Indeed, abnormal/pronounced wear of the latter can cause uncommon friction which can cause this squeaking noise. Bear in mind to check by going under your automobile the condition of the paint on your bar which will reveal if there is friction. Second plausible point, it may be your stabilizer bar silentblocks that are dried out and bring on noise, in which case take them off from the cradle and grease them, this should solve the issue.
Check engine silentblocks
Finally, last possibility that we can check together, it is the engine silentblocks, actually, these silentblocks work as pads/shock absorbers between the engine and the cradle of the auto, a evident weakness of these will generate a subsidence and therefore a space between the engine and the silentblocks, it may appear that a squeaking noise shows up when you pass a speed bumps or any holes with your Peugeot 2008. To replace them go to your auto mechanic.
Other speed bump noise Peugeot 2008
If, even though all its assumptions, you still can’t find the origin of the noise your Peugeot 2008 makes when you pass a speed bump, we suggest you to read this article on a loud noise on Peugeot 2008 or to visit your mechanic in order to carry an in-depth check on your Peugeot 2008 and determine this issue.
